These techniques are so helpful and amazing. I love what Mike did with the PCA’s. The playful banter between Mike and Jonathan is great too. Thanks for this video Hornby Magazine. I can’t wait to watch the full series.
Great video gents, it was nice to see the techniques used regarding the graffiti and streaking on the body side, it's given me a few ideas for a couple of projects with my modern era rakes in the near future. I look forward to the next video James
Glad it's inspired you. Multi-layering the graffiti really makes a huge difference to the realism, so definitely give it a go 😊 Happy modelling on the modern era rakes too 😊
@@hornbymag Looking forward to it👍😊 Light/mid weathering is always more of a challenge. I'm just doing such to a recently 'out-shopped' 08, as it appeared at Gloucester Road circa 1976. It's based on an O gauge Dapol 08 that I'm going to make dead rail/RC. Rail/Corporate blue is a challenge to gauge in sunlight (photo of the prototype I have to hand) so I may need to let down the colour of the model, VERY carefully, using a filter or similar. It also needs more of a sheen too, to be truly accurate, oh AND a repaint of the, as supplied, black roof, all to make a model of an overhauled prototype that the week before had been 'inside' (Swindon Works). Paul Lunn has seen some of my work, it's usually heavily weathered to represent the 1960s and 1970s👍🤫😀😀
Yes, you can find that in Part 1 of Series 1 here on RUclips, however in all these videos in this ew series we show weathering with powders as well as using an airbrush.
I agree that modelling graffiti is quite a contentious issue. However, if you are going to do it you should still study the prototype. “Graffiti artists” as they describe themselves know that if they cover the information & warning signs on the wagon it will be repainted quite quickly. Therefore, they mask every information & numbering sign (not the main branding though) then spray their graffiti. Once finished they’ll peel off all their masking and, apparently the owners aren’t too bothered.
I agree. I wont put any graffiti on my models although i saw my fill of it going to the intermodal rail yard to drop off and pick up trailers at work.. its on everything now and i got sick of looking at it. Only a very small percent had any talent to it.

More good work chaps👍😊
Many thanks. In Part 2 we weather the class 66 to go along with these PCA's 😊

Can you do weathering without an airbrush?

That's a great little tip. Thank you 😊
